Leanne Cusack

Leanne has experienced the thrill of 9-Gs in an F16 jet, jumped out of a Hercules aircraft with the Skyhawks, swam with sharks and donned red serge to join the RCMP Musical Ride.

But there's more to Leanne than just high adventure.

Leanne loves people and sharing what makes them tick with our viewers. She has a keen interest in health and wellness, nature, and loves great food. When she's not in the field with CTV News at Noon, she's in the fields on her farm where she spends countless hours pampering her horses, riding, snowshoeing, skiing and gardening.

Leanne hails from Halifax. She came to Ottawa to study Journalism at Carleton University. She started working at CTV, then CJOH, during her fourth year and the fit was right. Leanne is very active in a variety of local charities and is proud to be a founding board member of the Ottawa Senators Foundation.
